I just returned from a great weekend in Barcelona, and as one would do in any world city, I spent one evening in an Irish Pub.
There I saw what I can only describe (by any true Irishman) as sinful drinking by non other than American Tourists.
A group of American ordered from the bar a drink I never heard of called ‘an Irish Car Bomb’ … (note: do not order this if in Ireland).
It is made of:
¾ pint of Guinness (no finer stout in the world)
Throw in two shots of Jameson Whiskey (no finer whiskey in the world ((although Canadian Club is right there with it)).
Then it comes with a shot of Baileys Irish Cream on the side. (finest cream liqueur in the world)
When back at the table, they throw the Baileys shot into the Guinness as well, then chug down the whole pint in one go.
Bartender says that 99% of those who drink it end up puking their guts out (thus ‘Irish Car Bomb’)
Now… Why would any self respecting person first of all drink in such a horrific way 3 of the finest drinks in the world only to throw them back up later????
Apparently many of the Irish pubs there refuse to make the drinks, but the place I was in had lower moral standards and was happy to take the cash.
